Case Study on Taft Engineering
"Overall, the systems has proven to be an extraordinary asset to the company and our day-to-day operations."

Taft Engineering Company Profile
Headquartered in Centennial, Colorado since 1998, Taft Engineering is a rapidly growing company that was having difficulty managing paper forms due to common setbacks such as time lapses and inconsistencies. Taft Engineering is a Manufacturer’s Representative firm for premium HVAC and plumbing companies.
Business Problem
Like many other paper-based companies, paper was weighing their company down. Business operations such as accounting and customer correspondence posed a challenge for the company.
According to Cory’s experiences, “having a lag in receiving paperwork and the inconsistency that it offered made it difficult to communicate with the customer”.
The mounds of paperwork not only slowed down their operations and productivity, but were also slowing down the growth process of their rapidly growing company. They searched for a solution and found their cost saving solution through Allegiance Technology.
Solution
Allegiance Technology put the money back in their pockets. Taft was losing too much money with its paper form processes, therefore by integrating tablets and a software solution Allegiance ultimately eliminated all paperwork for Taft.
It is also very easy to learn. Cory states that “John Hill
offered awesome guidance in getting under way with the tablets”.
Allegiance
offers any interested business a free demonstration of our solution as well as
any assistance for current clients with integrating our solutions properly into
your business.
The write-to-text feature caught their attention.
Cory points out that “the user friendliness of
the write-to-text function was a big question for us but it has proven to be
very easy to use and accurate”. Taft’s technicians
write on the tablets just like they use to on the paper forms.
Another
feature that the service techs at Taft use is the camera feature where the
techs can take pictures with the tablet and attach them to their work orders. Each
and every day Taft utilizes the tablets to process the work orders, along with
any picture from the job sites or documentation of site visits.
Results
“Our main focus with moving to the Allegiance system was to streamline
the service side of our business. Having work orders completed accurately and
in a timely fashion has proven to be an invaluable solution. Customers receive
timely updates of work performed, accounting can invoice out on the day of
service in most cases.”

call should be to your existing insurance company. If you are a homeowner, you probably already have protection on computer equipment that stays in your home. I called State Farm, my insurer, and we're protected up to $5,000. But not if the tablet computer is taken out of the house (like to work, on vacation, etc.). I had ready about Personal Articles protection and so I asked Melanie, my rep, some questions. For just $2.20 per $100 of value, I would have no deductible and get the following coverage:
